About Me

I am a screen printer by trade and have printed on T-shirts / paper
metals and vinyls, I think i have always loved playing with colours and creating.
I started scrapbooking in November 2006
My favourite layouts are heritage/distressed type layouts, I love to capture the mood and fell for all things old but loved. Scrapbooking started out as a way to preserve my families history and grew into something much more.
I now do altered art and mixed media . I love the social side,going to crops
and camps i get to meet and make friends that i would never have meet otherwise,

Here's my first ever 6 x 12 layout, i have decided to do all the boys baby photos this size as they look better, the photos back then seem to always be at a distance and small so on a 12 x 12 they get lost, i put a black peace of card behind it when i scan ed it in. Any tips from you girls that have done these sort of photos would be great.I will post more as i go, might be useful for others with this problem.

Here's my entry ( a Fraze that gets used and passed on) in our family is I'M NOT AMUSED!!I can remember my mum saying this to me and i used it heaps when the boys were teenagers,I have been trying to scrap all my old photos i, i have a few really good shoots of my son runningaround naked, they are actually some of the better ones, when he saw me scraping some he said" DON'T put that on the Internet" I'm not amused . Note the censored tag lol

I have an online friend, we play games together, chat, send each other cards and little gifts and have lots of laughs, we have been doing this for around 5 years now, shes from the Netherlands.We first meet on a family gaming site called Pogo, she had joined to help her learn English, some times she got her words wrong and people would get inpatient, we had a lot of laughs and started meeting to play often and from here our friendship grew. At the moment her and hubby are on holiday in thailand, she sent me an e-mail asking for my phone number ( she had wonted to call before but i was to shy) can you believe it ME shy lol. Well tonight she called and we chatted like old friends, it was great to hear each others voices for the first time and we seamed to understand each other oklol. It has just made my day, isn't it amazing that you can form such wonderful friendship with some that has never meet you.
